Roon Pha Pah (BE 2546) Edition

The Phra Khun Phaen Prai Kumarn Roon Pha Pah edition was released by Luang Por Sakorn in B.E. 2546 (2003 AD). The name "Pha Pah" refers to a traditional Buddhist ceremony for collecting donations, in this case, the funds raised were explicitly intended to help build Guti(monastic living quarters) at the temple.

The amulets are renowned for containing an authentic, potent mixture of sacred powders, including the legendary Phong Prai Kumarnpowder inherited directly from Luang Por Sakorn's master, Luang Pu Tim of Wat Laharn Rai. Other ingredients included Phong Wan Saboo Lierd, Phong Maha Niyom, Phong Jinda Roop Thong, and various other herbs and sacred oils.

Blessing Ceremony

The Roon Pha Pah amulets underwent a significant consecration process. Luang Por Sakorn, widely recognized for his mastery of the Wicha (magical arts) passed down from Luang Pu Tim, personally led the primary empowerment.

While specific details naming every single monk present are not publicly documented in general accounts, the ceremony was a major event at Wat Nong Krap. Luang Por Sakorn chanted over the amulets for several months to ensure they were fully empowered with protective and charm properties (Metta Maha Niyom and Maha Sanaeh). The amulets were distributed to devotees who made donations to the temple building fund.

Documented Variations

The Roon Pha Pah edition was produced in both Pim Yai (large print) and Pim Lek (small print) sizes, with several material and Takrutvariations.

The three main powder mixtures (Nuea) in the large print were:

• Nuea Khaw (White/Beige powder)
• Nuea Chompoo (Pink powder)
• Nuea Lueang (Yellow powder using Dork Tong herb) - This is considered the most prized due to its material composition.

• Most commonly, they featured two copper Takrut.
• Some pink powder variations came with two silver Takrut.
• Many amulets, had a gold-painted finish on the front face.

Born Sakorn Fai Saalee, he began studying magic and traditional medicine at a young age. He was ordained at Wat Nong Krap at age 20 and then became the primary disciple (Looksit Aek) of the great Luang Pu Tim Issarigo of Wat Laharn Rai. Luang Por Sakorn was the only monk to fully inherit the secret Wicha and the remaining stock of Luang Pu Tim's famous Phong Prai Kumarn powder, which he used sparingly in his own editions. He was highly revered for his purity of practice and powerful amulets, known for their efficacy in protection and fortune.

The temple stands as a testament to his legacy and continues to be a place of pilgrimage for devotees of the Luang Pu Tim lineage.

Pong Prai Kumarn Luang Por Sakorn.

The Pong Prai Kumarn of Luang Por Sakorn contained Sacred Powders from various editions of amulets of his Mentor Luang Phu Tim, mixed with Sacred Powders of Luang Por Sakorn's early edition amulets, Paeng Sek Enchanted face talcs, Nam Man Prai Chant Pasom Khloen, Din jet Poeng (earths from 7 salt licks) Din Jet Plual (earths of 7 giant termite mounds, Din Jet Ta (earths of 7 Ports) Din Jet Pha Cha (earths of 7 cemeteries), Khee Takrai Sema (powders of 7 temple boundary wall fragments), and some of Luang Phu Tim's Famous Pong PraIi Kumarn, which he was given a repository of by his Initiating Mentor Luang Phu Tim.

The making of Pong Prai Kumarn Powders according to the formula of Luang Phu Tim involved a very difficult and extensive set or ritual circumstances. The real name of the powders is 'Pong Prai Kumarn Maha Phuudt'. These powders required an extremely complex method, which needed the correct choosing of astrological dates and times for the necessary events. The formula used the bone powders of a skull of a child who was not a 'Phii' (ghost), rather a 'Phuudt' (Bhūta Phantom).

A Phuudt is the spirit of a human who was prematurely killed or died before his time. The Phuudt spirit can only be invoked and ordained by a Monk or Practitioner who has attained higher levels of Enlightened Awareness. The Most then ordain the spirit to become a Deva (Angelic Being). Only then, when the spirit of the bones had been ordained as a Deva, were the bones ground up and empowered as Pong Prai Kumarn Maha Phuudt.
